To all whom t muy concern; .Be it `known `that l, 4Srnrnvo SANT'rLLn a sulijecl; Vfoi! Ytire King of `Italy, residi1 ig at Canton7 in the county of Stark and State of l'hio, have invented. a new and useful chine tor lilaking Macaroni and Noodles, of rtlii' h the following is a specification; rlfhis invention relates to a machine tor making macaroni and vmore particularly to a rduiry rflough kneader and means for rolling the dough into. a sheet and cutting .the sheet into strips.V The objets or. the invention are the provision. of a dough lineader', comprising a 'oliing corrugated drum, said drum volvin within and hein spaced from a con-f cave ot' small rollers, said rollers being driven in a direction opposite tothe drum,

andL theprovision of means for rolling'the i lmeafled dough into a sheet and passing said sheet through a' screen` formed` ot plurali ot wires located at right angles to the plane ol.I thcsheet of dough and arranged to rut the sheetinto strips in suitable sizes tor use as macaroni7 noodles and the like.

vl/ith these objects in view the ini/*ention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts, `hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings', and particularly pointed out inthe claims7 it being understood that various changesin the forni, proportions, size and minordetails of construction may he madewithin the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any ofthe advantages of the invention. The invention thus set forth `in general terms is illustrated inthe accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in'which- Figure l, is a side elevation of a machine embodying the invention;

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-27 Fig. 8. i 3 is a section on the line 33, Fig. 2. 4l is a perspective view of the wire through which the sheet ott dough is Fig. Fig. screen passed.

A practical embodiment of the invention is disclosed in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specilication in which similar numerals of reference indicate cor- A responding parts throughout the several views.

The device is mounted upon the base 1, a box 2 being formed thereon and provided Specia'catonof Letterslatnt Patented vJulyil`12,A

with the hinged upper portion 1.3 ihingedly connected to the lower portionnt'fl, said hinged portion being providedjwith'the.hopper 5 the concavei'ormed ofthe plurality of small rollers 7, said rollers `being so located that eaclrengages theadjacent l'rolle'rs.`

A, rcrrugz-rted drum 8 `is concentrically mounted within the conca-'ve thus formed;k

said drum being journaled between thebox 2 and the hinged portion i operation of said parts. i The shaft 9 of thefdrun carries a large gear 10, whichmeshes`with lthe pinions 11 formed upon the extremities of the rollers`7. A pulley"12 may loe providedupon the shaft 9 for drivingthe. same hy powerorf a han-- dle 13`inay he provided thereon in order that the device mayibe .hand operated/ifndesired. i

llhe'large roller 14 is'iijournaled at( one side ot the box 2 in. suitable hearings formed in the side walls ljand a smalll table '16, is carried betweensaid side walls adjacent to the roller 111, said roller'heing arranged to rotate away from said table as shown by the arrow in Fig. 2. *j i g A plurality ol" smaller rollers 117,18 and 19 ,are'located above .the roller 111'. "The roller 17 is located adjacentto the table 6 and spaced fromthe periphery of the roller 14, the roller 18vis spaced from the roller 17 and is located considerahlycloser to the periphery of kthe rollerv 14 `than the roller 17. `The roller 19 is mounted in a flexible hearing and is located yloeyond the rcllerlb" and arranged to engage the periphery of the roller 121.l l L Ascreen is arranged beyond `the `roller 19 and adjacent to the roller 111,'saidv screen comprising-a frame`20 having afplurality of vertical wires 21 mounted therein, said wires being equi-distantly spaced from each other, the frame 2O is mounted in suitable sockets 22 :formed in the side walls 15, a latch 23 being provided for holding the screen in position.

The shaft 25 of the roller 14 has mounted thereon a large gear 26 which meshes with the pinions 27, 28 and 29 mounted upon the extremities of the rollers 17, 18 and 19 respectively. For the purpose of applying power to .the shaft 25, in order to drive the same, ra ypulley 30 is mounted upon said at the plane of which Vregisters with the'openings 6 in i shaft and a crank 31 is also provided upon the shaft in order that the same may be rotated byV hand.

The operation of the device is'as follows: The doughis deposited in the hopper 5 and is--drawn down throughthe opening'g into the space between the drum 8 and theA concave of rollers 7 by the rotation ot the shaft `9. The corrugated drum 8 and the rollers 7 the rollers 17 ,18 and 19 willbe rotated in the opposite direction causing the dough to be drawn between the roller 14 and the rollers 17, 18 and 19 successively reducing the Adough'to a Athin sheet and feeding it through the wires 21 in the screen causing the dough to issue therefrom in Ynarrow Vthe dough after strips whichV will then bedried in the usual manner and ready for use.l l

F rom the above it will be evident that a machine is Vproduced whichv mixes and Vkneads the raw dough and through which being. properly kneaded is rolled into a'she'et' and cut into strips of proper Although thejdrawings and above specitication disclose the best mode in whichl Y Y' 1.
